A young man was stabbed to death late Saturday and Stockton police are asking the community for help in solving the homicide.

At 9:56 p.m. Saturday, officers responded to a report of a stabbing in the 4400 block of Calandria Street.

When officers arrived, they located a victim who had been stabbed.

He was transported to a local area hospital where he died from his injuries.

The victim has been identified as 18-year-old Malik Abdul Johnson.

"We actually really need the community's help on this one," Officer Joe Silva of the Stockton Police Department said on Sunday. "At this time there is no suspect information."

Silva said Johnson did not live on the street where he was found alone.

Calandria Street is located off Bianchi Road and is dotted by multi-family units. On Sunday afternoon, there was no sign that a homicide had taken place there. And several people in the neighborhood said they didn't know anything about the slaying.

Johnson is the city's 28th homicide of 2013. By this time last year, the city had already recorded 61 homicides.

The Stockton Police Department is encouraging anyone with information on the slaying of Johnson to call (209) 937-8377, Crime Stoppers at (209) 946-0600, or submit a tip via the Stockton Police Department's Facebook Page. Even anonymous tips are welcome.
